I did some work today.

i installed my new used fan shroud, swapped to lower mile radiator, replaced thermostat, replaced fan clutch, flushed out my cooling system, replaced belt and the tensioner.



here is what happens when you use garden hose water with zero antifreeze.

Hope you cleaned it out and out well. I bought a 4AGE motor, took the thermostat housing off and holy hell.

The old radiator was full of rust, but i had a spare that was cleaner, and i flushed the engine out till there was clear water coming out, looked like orange mud coming out for almost 2 minutes.

Today I took the nasty *** faded tints off the driver side/passenger side door. Little steamer I got from the thrift store, and bought a $2 window scraper at walmart. Worked so well, wish I would have picked it up when I removed my rear window tint. Sadly I did that with a blow dryer, and a pocket knife....took over an hour.

It is sad that some folks neglect their cars like this one.

Good luck!

that's not from no antifreeze. that's fun the ions in tap water. water is self cools better than antifreeze. however is also heats up and boils much much easier. if you RO water you would be good...if you were never in traffic or freezing temps. Lol...hence why they add antifreeze to water for your coolant. Lol.

but yeah sucks when your stoked on a purchase and you find stuff like that. makes you want to go back and show them...then slap em.
